Hey guys and gals. Tim swings by and gets to play the Vintage V100. Have a watch and see what he has to say about the beast from the far east.

hi nick.gorgeous guitar dude.vintage guitars have become very popular with the gigging musician here in ireland.my drummer works part time in a music store that stocks them and i have to say they're a great guitar for the money.the higher end stuff is stunning and alot of guys are buying these as an alternative to gibsons or using them as a back up to their gibsons.michael kelly guitars are really making a mark here too.really great quality at affordable prices.

Hey, Nick. Have you seen the Vintage "Summer of Love" strat? I go back and forth on getting one. It has one of the most beautiful strat tones I've ever heard. I'm just afraid I wont like the neck or something. Check it out if you have the chance. Great video, man.

Well, you didn’t really expect a full sized triple A flamed maple cap for 300 bucks, did you? On a Gibson, a proper flame top will cost you around a thousand bucks on top of the prize of a solid colored guitar.

Nick, you should buy a fake 'stache and Imperial just to stick on now and again to mess with us ;-) I like the Vintage V100. Not in love with the headstock shape (spoiled by the Edwards you are holding next to it), but looks like a solid choice for a LP copy on the inexpensive (notice I DID NOT say cheap, Ha ha!) side.
@NickintheStates
@NickintheStates 7 жыл бұрын
LOL exactly... still not cheap by any means but the Harley Bentons have ruined my gear to the dollar/pound/euro scale.
@jcoulter43
@jcoulter43 7 жыл бұрын
Cheap to me is under a grand as I don't buy new stuff but about once a year. I know what you mean by being spoiled by the dollar/pound/euro scale with these decent quality alternatives to the bigger manufacturers. My first Agile I mentioned from a few years back was $600 but on par with my '96 LP Standard.
@NickintheStates
@NickintheStates 7 жыл бұрын
That must have been a helluva Agile. But their good ones are pretty damn sweet. I'm not sure if their new ones have fallen off or I've just had bad luck.
@jcoulter43
@jcoulter43 7 жыл бұрын
I think probably a little of both. The one I got I think was a beautiful example of S. Korean craftsmanship. I am VERY picky about all the little details on a guitar and my Agile is on par with my '96 LP Standard. The Agile has a killer flame top and makes a nice matched set with my Dean '79 V. They look like they were painted at the same time. I've heard some bad things about the recent Agiles. I'll have to share some pics with you sometime.
